A Capital Conversation with Michael Cohen (Brighton Capital Advisors) and Andrew Kirsh (Sklar Kirsh LLP)

In this candid discussion with TruAmerica Chairman & CEO Bob Hart, Michael and Andrew unpack what they’re seeing across today’s capital markets and deal environment.

We discuss:

• Current conditions across the debt and equity markets—and how sponsors are getting deals done when traditional capital is selective.
• Legal and structuring considerations that matter most in today’s environment (recourse, waterfalls, preferred equity mechanics, and alignment between partners).
• Where relationship capital gives borrowers and operators an edge when timing and certainty of execution count.
• Practical guidance for sponsors preparing for their next raise, recap, or refinance.
